The University is situated two miles from the centre of Bournemouth, on the border between Bournemouth and Poole. Here are details on how to get in touch and how find us.

At AUB, our flourishing research and scholarship culture celebrates and enables original investigation; extending knowledge fields and developing new understanding within the arts.

By promoting the pursuit of innovation and creativity, we encourage opportunities for establishing and sharing best practice in research and foster the development of critical perspectives that have traditionally lain outside discrete disciplines. We encourage the use of reflective teaching and learning practices as part of an interactive relationship with research.

Staff research is supported from within AUB by grants for particular projects and by a Research Fellowship programme offering generous remission from teaching and administration. Researchers are also encouraged to apply for external funding for the full range of research from practice through history and theory.

A proactive Research Forum enables staff to present work in progress and to hear and participate in discussions of research by distinguished visitors. Training and advice is available to those intending to apply for external funding.

The University occupies a significant position in the cultural nexus of the south west. The University’s own Gallery is an important showcase for creative work and there are established links with other arts institutions in the area.

Alan Kitching and Monotype

Exhibition in TheGallery

Celebrating five pioneers of the poster

31 October – 19 December 2016

Curated by Daniel Chehade

Main Gallery, AUB

TheGallery is delighted to host the Alan Kitching and Monotype exhibition, a collaboration between two typographic forces: Alan Kitching, a leading practitioner in letterpress, typography and design; and Monotype, global trailblazers in type, and home to some of the world’s most popular typefaces.

This exhibition shows the process behind the making of the collection, following Alan’s journey from research and sketches through the Monotype Archive to Alan’s workshop and finished pieces.

The Alan Kitching Collection pays tribute to five influential graphic designers: Tom Eckersley, Abram Games, FHK Henrion, Josef Müller-Brockmann and Paul Rand, honouring their life and work. Each designer is represented by a monogram made from overlapping type, representing the designer through colour, composition and typeface.
